Description

A kind of underwater sound communication Doppler factor estimation method of low computation complexity
[technical field]
The present invention relates to underwater sound communications, more particularly to are estimated based on FFT frequency measuring method and being combined based on ambiguity function method The underwater sound communication Doppler factor estimation method of meter.
[background technique]
Underwater sound communication not only has great application value in military field, it was in civil field application valence in recent years It is worth more and more prominent, such as multi-sensor, early warning of marine disasters and search and rescue, resource exploration.Current China underwater sound communication skill Art is also in a starting stage, mainly applies transmission rate is lower and the occasion of movement speed very little, this is because The development of underwater sound communication system receives the very big limitation of underwater acoustic channel condition, compared with other communication channels, underwater acoustic channel table Reveal the stochastic behaviour that complicated time-varying, space-variant, frequency become.Especially the propagation rate of sound wave in water is low (1500m/s), causes It is with serious multipath effect and Doppler effect, in addition the complexity that underwater acoustic channel is intrinsic, such as ambient noise are strong all More characteristics restrict effective progress of underwater sound communication, become develop in numerous research fields of wireless communication it is most slow.With Ocean development it is movable frequently, people have more expectations to mobile and high speed underwater acoustic communication systems, and whether high speed is also The problem of being mobile underwater sound communication system, all having to face is Doppler shift.Due to the propagation of sound wave in water Rate only has 1500m/s, when the transmitting-receiving both ends of communication system are there are when relative motion, receive in signal and has serious Doppler Effect, though without relative motion, the fluctuating etc. from time-varying sea be also possible to cause more serious Doppler effect and Random phase rises and falls, so that communication system performance sharply declines, so effective Doppler shift technology is water A research emphasis in sound communication system.
The estimation method in underwater sound communication is mostly to be based on ambiguity function at present, and there are two types of main ways of realization, and one To ask related to received signal using one group of correlator for correlator estimation method, the range that this Doppler estimates with Precision determines the quantity of required correlator.If the range of Doppler frequency shift is ± 1%, estimation accuracy is 0.02%, then Need 100 independent correlators.Obvious the method calculates greatly, is unfavorable for the occasion for requiring real-time high;Two be block Doppler Estimation method sends each insertion LFM signal before and after data really, does phase with signal is received with known linear FM signal It closes, the length of reception signal is measured with the peak value of head and the tail, be somebody's turn to do by the way that the length for comparing transmitting signal with receiving signal is available The Doppler factor of frame signal, the method will appear under practical underwater acoustic channel, correlation peak decline, relevant peaks division etc. are existing As.Doppler factor estimation method in underwater sound communication based on FFT frequency measuring method also has a wide range of applications, this method meter Calculation amount is smaller, strong real-time, and detection accuracy is limited by CW signal duration and transformation points, simple effective by increasing Data are counted to improve frequency detection accuracy (i.e. duration), and the complexity of operation is on the one hand increased, it is often more important that, In practical application, secured transmission of payload data points are cannot arbitrarily to increase, therefore this method is extremely difficult to ideal precision.
[summary of the invention]
In view of this, it is necessary to provide a kind of low computation complexity and the underwater sound Doppler factor estimation sides of degree of precision Method.It is an object of the invention to provide a kind of low computation complexity and with degree of precision underwater sound Doppler factor estimation method, This method is to transmit packet structure based on underwater sound communication system and realize, the packet structure that the present invention designs is believed by LFM Number, protection interval, CW signal, protection interval, data to be transmitted successively form.The method includes:
The just range estimation of step 1) Doppler factor;
Step 2) Doppler factor is accurately estimated.
Step 1) is that Doppler factor is locked in a smaller range, and the step is specific as follows:
1) CW signal initial position is determined by packet structure, extracts subsequent CW signal;
2) frequency detecting is carried out to CW signal using traditional FFT frequency measuring method, after carrying out FFT transform, searches for wherein amplitude Point N corresponding to maximum1, calculate respective frequencies fmax, it is assumed that CW signal frequency is f when transmittingcw, available Doppler factor Δ=fmax/fcw-1.Due to fence effect, acquired frequency fmaxIt may be with the frequency f' of CW signal when receivingcwHave certain inclined Difference, so Doppler factor Δ may have relatively large deviation with true Doppler factor.In order to avoid such case, first comparison point N1Left and right two o'clock amplitude size show that the biggish point of amplitude is N2
3) according to FFT transform points N and point N1And N2Positional relationship and sample frequency fsTo determine Doppler factor First range delta, such as fruit dot N2In point N1When the right, then Doppler factor just range can be obtained are as follows:
fmax/fcw-1≤Δ≤(fmax+fs/N/2)/fcw-1
As point N2In point N1When the left side, then Doppler factor just range can be obtained are as follows:
(fmax-fs/N/2)/fcw-1≤Δ≤fmax/fcw-1。
The matched filter of the determination CW signal initial position specific method of above-mentioned progress LFM signal in transmission data packet Matched filtering is carried out to received data packet, it may be determined that CW signal initial position.
Step 2) obtains Doppler factor and accurately estimates, which estimated by ambiguity function method, The LFM signal that will be received passes through a series of corresponding LFM signal correlator (matched filter) of different Doppler factors, when When the shock response of correlator and input signal match, the output signal-to-noise ratio of correlator is maximum, this correlator shock response institute Corresponding Doppler factor is necessarily able to reflect the size of the Doppler factor of input signal, specific as follows:
1) the quantity M of correlator is determined, wherein the first model of Doppler factor obtained by the quantity M Shi Gen Ju Walk rapid 1 of correlator Enclose the estimated accuracy Δ of Δ and Doppler factormaxIt determines, i.e. M=[(f2/fcw-f1/fcw)/Δmax], wherein [] indicates big In equal to (f2/fcw-f1/fcw)/ΔmaxSmallest positive integral;
2) the corresponding LFM Signal Matching filter of M difference Doppler factor is set, and the resolution ratio of matched filter group is Δmax, the LFM signal received is passed through into matched filter group;
3) maximum value for comparing the output of M matched filter, obtains maximum value, correlator corresponding to maximum value be exactly with The received LFM signal correlation of institute is best, to obtain accurate Doppler factor.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the following outstanding advantages:
1) with traditional FFT estimate frequency compared with, which obviate by increase CW signal duration come
Increase estimated accuracy, and operand does not increase significantly;
2) compared with relevant Doppler estimation method, in the requirement for not reducing Doppler factor estimated accuracy
Under, operand is greatly decreased;

The matched filter of LFM signal, it is known that the time-domain pulse response of the matched filter of signal s (t) are as follows:
H (t)=s*(t0-t) (3)
t0It is to make filter physics that can realize attached time delay.When theory analysis, t can be enabled0=0,3 formulas are rewritten,
H (t)=s*(-t) (4)
1 formula is substituted into the impulse response that 4 formulas obtain the matched filter of LFM signal are as follows:
